Super Spender-Chapter 470: 464: A Fine Line Apart

“Impressive power. At least a third of the transformers in a block radius got toasted.” Olivia’s praise rang out again, but Finn was already floored. Damn it, these scientists really got jokes. Who’d have thought such a compact device could cause a blackout in an entire block? And to knock out a third of the transformers in the district too. Damn!

If he had enough resources, what could he do? Paralyze a country’s entire power grid? Finn suddenly felt that coming to find this dude might not have been the best idea. This was far too deep.

When the green arc of light disappeared, Gregory started looking around to check that nothing was around them. Then, he directly asked, “Do you speak the Graham Kingdom language?” He said this in Graham Kingdom language.

“Yes,” Finn answered in a word.

“No good, the Graham Kingdom language is too common. Federation language, Lancia language, Sperian language, Prussia language, Robert’s Kingdom language, Belmare language, Southland language. Do you know them all?” He straightened up his head looked at Finn as a string of words came out of his mouth, using each language to ask if Finn understood it. Damn it, are you trying to show off or what?

“Yes to all.” Finn nodded somewhat speechlessly. Why was he asking if he knew all these languages?

“…%…%” Gregory’s mouth emitted a series of sounds, but this time Finn really didn’t understand. Damn it, who could understand what you’re saying?

“Oh, didn’t get this one huh? This is a native dialect from Liga State.” Gregory scratched his head as he spoke.

Finn almost cursed out loud. Fuckin’ hell, not everyone is like you. Who else would study a Liga State dialect? Damn it. However, Finn couldn’t help it. He knew one more language. Just didn’t know if Gregory would too. Finn opened his mouth and a string of words came out, which strictly speaking, was not any of the languages on Earth, but an artificial one. freeweɓnovel.cøm

This was Elvish language created in the Lord of the Rings and Monster World, an artificial language like Esperanto, created by novelists for a specific race in their books. Finn learnt this purely out of interest as he was very interested in the Elvish language on TV. It was to tease Gregory.

“You know this?” Finn guessed the start but not the end. To his surprise, Gregory’s face lit up and he blurted out the same sentence in Elvish.

“Damn it!” This time Finn couldn’t help cursing outright.

“But it’s not much use. There’s limited vocabulary in this language and a lot of content can’t be expressed.” Gregory scratched his head and said.

Now Finn understood what Gregory was up to. He was looking for an obscure language that both of them knew. Considering his actions just now, he was probably worried about being eavesdropped, right?

“No need, I’ve got this.” Finn quickly retorted, and immediately started operating his cellphone.

“Sir, there are no eavesdropping devices here. The only two that were just got destroyed. No one can hear your conversation right now.”

“Relax, there are no eavesdropping devices here.” Finn spoke in the Flame Nation language.

“OK but before that, I want to ask one question…” Gregory started, scratching his head.

“Go ahead.” Finn nodded, somewhat puzzled by his behavior. Does he understand the current situation?

“My question is very simple, you… you’re not of this earth, are you?” Gregory asked hesitantly.

At Gregory’s question, the room went silent in an instant. Seeing Finn’s reaction, Gregory instantly tensed. Finn was taken aback because this was not the first time he had heard those words. This was the second person to ask Finn this. However, Finn squinted his eyes. Did Gregory also know about the existence of extraterrestrials?

Moreover, from the looks of it, Gregory probably knew more than Charles Mason. And Gregory’s recent actions seemed like he was trying to protect himself.

“Why do you ask?” Finn squinted at him and asked, but before Gregory could answer, Finn simply said, “I can tell you in all honesty, I am indeed from Earth and not from Mars or any other planet.”

“Really?”

“Of course.” Finn nodded.

“OK then, before we came here, Jack Lewis, the person from earlier, should have told you what field I am an expert in, right?” Gregory switched the topic.

“Hmm.” Finn nodded, somewhat puzzled, not knowing why Gregory would bring this up.

“I’m 35 years old. I don’t know how high my intelligence is, but it’s definitely higher than the average person.” Gregory spoke after a moment of thought. Finn was speechless. Not just higher than average, you’re almost a master level intellect. The number of languages you’ve learned is a testament to that.

“But I can tell you frankly, I switched my research to computer CPU architecture and related fields halfway through my career. Before that, I was a physicist, a bona fide physicist,” Gregory said seriously.

“What are you getting at?” Finn didn’t understand what he was trying to say.

“When I was 25, I discovered a new type of detection method. It uses air ions and light waves for detection. You should know, all objects in the universe are emitting light, regardless of temperature, and their movements carry certain unique ions. I was surprised to find a lot of ion traces in the air. One day, my detection device picked up an invisible spaceship, a true optical invisible ship,” Gregory explained calmly.

Finn was visibly astonished, but he quickly understood what Gregory meant. This was likely the work of Zero. Finn had pondered how Zero transported things. After much thought, it ruled out some super-mystical methods, but since Zero’s delivery required time and couldn’t deliver indoors, it was highly likely that it was a transport ship.

An optically invisible transport ship. But the technology gap was too big. Even if the ship was right under one’s nose, they wouldn’t see it. Human eyes were too easily deceived. As for radars, they were even easier to trick. So, the things Finn ordered from Zero were likely shipped via transport ships. The so-called space Finn ordered from was probably just the interior space of the transport vessel.
